Theo and Viv Perry have had many years of experience with organising and hosting
seminars, conferences, weddings and special occasions catering
for up to ninety people.
We are now operating "Hikurangi
Homestead" situated on the eastern bank of the
Whanganui River close to the city as a Bed
and Breakfast / Backpackers Lodge and Conference
Centre.
For the last sixteen years we have
been involved in the hospitality industry in Wanganui.
Over this time we have hosted many events from day seminars and
product launches to two and three day conferences to week long
team-building exercises, weddings, birthdays and other special
occasions.
Our ability to provide a full service including catering and
accommodation in a quiet and private setting has been important.
There are two conference rooms. The
smaller of these can accommodate around twenty participants,
while the larger can seat between fifty and one hundred people.
We have more than thirty rooms for guests, most with en-suite
facilities, a guest laundry, large games room and communal
spaces with TV and kitchen.
A continental-style breakfast is included in our room rates and is available between 7.30 and 9.00 am. This includes cereal, fruit, toast, juice and tea or coffee.
We thrive on challenges and will do everything to ensure a successful and memorable event at our special venue.
For conferences and functions we will work closely with the organisers to ensure all requirements are met. We have an A-rated kitchen and can provide morning teas, lunches and dinners.
Morning Teas – warm savoury scones, high teas, carrot cake, mini
quiches
Lunches – glazed ham off the bone with fresh salads, curried
chicken and vegetable casserole, roast of the day
Dinners – grilled salmon steak, chicken breast wrapped in bacon,
curry and rice, fish and chips
Desserts – chocolate mousse, pavlova and fresh fruit, sticky
toffee pudding
